Abstract: The study assessed the availability and usage of instructional facilities for effective teaching and learning of Agricultural Science in Nigerian Air force secondary schools. Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated from purpose of the study. The design of the study was survey research design. The population of the study was 820 Agricultural Science Teachers and Students of the (13) NAF secondary schools. The sample size was 30 Agricultural Science Teachers and 120 Agricultural Science Students from SS3 since they are preparing for WAEC and NECO. Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to determine the sample size for the study. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire called Instructional Material Assessment Questionnaire (IMAQ) this consists of 13 structured items. The instrument was validated by three experts. The instruments were subjected to reliability coefficient of 0.89. The researcher with the help of five assistance distributed the 150 questionnaires and were all retrieved within 7 days. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation, while the hypothesis was tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The finding indicates that instructional facilities were inadequate and the available instructional facilities were not fully utilized in teaching Agricultural Science. The researcher recommended that NAF Directorate of Education should provide adequate instructional facilities for teaching of Agricultural Science. Agricultural Science Teachers should make use of available instructional materials in order to teach effectively.
